You need to have the systems control module scanned for fault codes as a first step to diagnosis and repair.

What's the normal rpm while shifting gears on an automatic 2006 c230?
No such figure. Shift points can be near the redline RPM or just above idle, it depends on hard you press the gas pedal.

Rexton will not go past 2nd gear
Hi Belida, I'm very happy to be in Africa. Cold here means wearing my shirt buttoned up till about ten. I believe that the transmission may need to be diagnosed and the fault codes erased. Have that done and I believe it should also tell you of any other fault which may have affected the box, if any. I believe a simple reset will do the job for you. Brrrrrr....I'm answering you sitting here sweating, don't you just wish? Best regards John

Automatic Transmission shifting problems.
i had the same thing...It's the transmission. It's REALLY noticeable shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. I was able to get my transmission fixed for 900 bux. That wasn't even a replacement so i can imagine how much it would cost to get it replaced. The shifting will get worse. By the end of my "experience" it wouldn't shift from 1st to 2nd for about 5 minutes until i drove it around for a bit. THen it would "warm up" to the idea of shifting to 2nd gear.

What grade & brand of engine oil does the 2005 Mercedes Benz c230 Kompressor Coupe Require
brand doesn't matter but alot of these vehicles run a synthetic oil in them straight from the factory, i'm not one hundred percent positive on your vehicle about the grade but your owners manual will tell you near the back of the book exactly what to put in it.
